PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Curt Schilling believes he would be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame this year if he said “Lynch Trump.”
Schilling, a three-time World Series champion, told TMZ Sports that he knows voters won’t support him for his conservative views he’s shared across social media.
“They’re not hiding the fact that they’ve stopped voting for me because of the things I’ve said on social media,” Schilling said. “That’s their prerogative as voters.”
Some Hall of Fame writers said they would not vote for Schilling after he tweeted a picture of a man at a Donald Trump rally wearing t-shirt advocating the lynching of journalists.
